 Ceremonies
to Mark Transitions
Whatever our beliefs, ceremony is a very powerful way
of integrating and honouring new experiences, life changes and personal
commitments. Together we can create a moving, nourishing and personally
meaningful occasion.
Weddings
For
those seeking a spiritual ceremony outside the restrictions of
a particular denomination. A ceremony that is an authentic reflection
of who you are, both as an individual, and as a couple. A ceremony that
would consecrate your intention, purpose and vision thus honouring the
transformative power of love.
Blessings
and Naming Ceremonies
for the Newborn
A
celebration of gratitude and joy for the miracle of new life.
A ceremony to support the mother and father in their role of parenthood
and to acknowledge the sacred role of grandparents and guardians in offering
their love, acceptance and wisdom to the new generation.
Funerals
and Memorials
A
service to truly honour the life of the deceased. An occasion
that allows space for friends and family to express their grief and to
reflect upon their relationship with the one who has died.
Healing
Ceremonies
Healing ceremonies may be individual, or can involve
a couple, a family or a whole community. The focus is on opening to union,
forgiveness and peace by letting go of past judgements, unhelpful defences
and the need to suffer.
Spiritual
Counselling
The
aim of spiritual counselling is to help you to connect with your
own inner strength, wisdom and spirituality – whatever your beliefs.
When you are truly heard in complete acceptance and unconditional love
we are able to see the truth behind our problems. In gaining clarity and
peace we can move forward out of inadequacy and fear into wholeness and
love. In addition to traditional counselling methods, silence, prayer,
meditation and visualisation may all form part of spiritual counselling,
if they are appropriate to your needs and beliefs. Telephone sessions
can be arranged.
